If your doctor was negligent, we can help you file your claim

On behalf of Law Offices of W. Scott Sonntag, P.A. posted in Failure to Diagnose on Wednesday, August 23, 2017.

If you are sick or injured, you may go to the hospital for medical advice or treatment. All hospital medical professionals must treat patients in accordance with the standards of medical care as established by the medical community. The idea is to help patients get better as quickly as possible by exercising the same level of care that a reasonable physician in the same field in similar circumstances would.

Unfortunately, however, some medical professionals do not meet the requisite medical standards when treating their patients. When a doctor is negligent in treating a patient, the patient may suffer additional injuries and require surgeries and other treatments they would not have needed had they been properly treated in the first place. In some cases, negligent doctors will misdiagnose or fail to diagnose a patient. By the time the doctor gives the correct diagnosis, the patient's condition may have worsened and become untreatable. As a result, many patients end up losing their lives due to medical malpractice.
